I wish you guys luck with your remix challenge. Hopefully, it will go better than mine did. Though other writers seemed very happy so maybe I just had bad luck on both ends of the remix.

Yargh!
Okay, someone give me a couple sentences for the freaking Guild site I have? (Same freaking pairing as usual, of course.) I need a hook. Or, you know, something other than "yeah, I know. crack, it's what's for breakfast. try it, you'll like it."

I had slightly more fun ordering SA around (YOU WILL WRITE THIS ONE! YOU WILL YOU THIS VOICE!) than I did writing mine. Or, rather, picking which one to write.
Oh, bitter, I'm sorry. You hated what was done to your story? And your author hated your take? That sucks ass. Worst of both worlds.
Plei, I wonder what good exchanges Buffy and Wes had? Maybe something riffing on the whole 'Give me a cookie' thing? Hmm. Blueberry scones... Seems like you have a whole carb snacky food thing going on.
I think I had more fun getting six teeth extracted.
At least there were good drugs.
Elena, yes and yes.
The problem with the story of mine that was remixed is that it was almost my safe story. There were two that I wanted safe and I could only pick one. And what happened to it was exactly why I had wanted to keep it safe. They took a sad, depressing tale of self-destruction and slapped a hopeful ending on it.
I may have screamed, "Nooooooooooo," when I read it. Just a little.
ETA: Which I realize is my issue. But I can't separate from my story.

I may stick to the "crack" theme.
I mean, it's not like I had *that* many people asking me questions about how to write 'em. I just... am lazy, and prefer handing out a URL. Besides, I think there's a Buffy/Doyle Guild site, and a Buffy/Lindsey one, so why the hell not?
Ouch. How did you choose between them?
Some people have crack, other folk have scones.
bitter, I never actual thought about people taking my stories and making them happy. t shudder But then, really, they would be very different stories and as long as people didn't think that I wrote it...

I made Six Months my safe story because it's hands down the one I am the most proud of. It's special. I wrote it in four hours on a whim and it's got this weird Memento thing to it and there's a whole misdirection on the pairing. Not to mention the use of the Zapatista women. I was really terrified of someone rewriting it. I think it would have hurt. This one just disappointed me.
But then, really, they would be very different stories
I think that's what disappointed me. I really wanted someone to make my story different. Try something new, a different spin or POV or whatever, and wow me. But it's essentially the same story with an extra scene.
